How dire has the Fort Lee, N.J., traffic jam scandal known as "BridgeGate" gotten for Gov. Chris Christie? So bad that even Jersey's golden child, Bruce Springsteen, is mocking it.

Springsteen appeared on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" on Tuesday to sing a parody of his anthemic hit "Born to Run" alongside Fallon. The new song, "Gov. Christie Traffic Jam," took dead aim at the governor's current headache.

Fallon appeared first, dressed in his best early '80s "Born in the U.S.A."-era Springsteen garb to belt out the Boss' 1975 hit, albetit with different lyrics.

"In the day we sweated out in the streets / stuck in traffic on the GWB / They shut down the tollbooths of glory / 'cause we didn't endorse Christie," Fallon belted in his best imitation of Springsteen.

But soon after, Springsteen himself appeared, also dressed as a parody of himself to sing along.

The fact that Springsteen's lyrics tempered the criticism of Christie with words of friendship will surely come as a relief to the governor, who has gone on record as having a giant, almost fanboy-ish appreciation of Springsteen.

In 2012, CBS News reported that Christie had been to more than 100 Springsteen concerts and when they met for the first time in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, Christie said he wept after hugging the rock star.

The scandal currently plauging Christie's administration involves a traffic jam on the George Washington Bridge leading into Manhattan last September that is suspected to have been deliberately set by Christie administration officials as possible political retribution for the mayor of Fort Lee not endorsing the governor's re-election campaign.

With all that swirling around Christie, it probably wouldn't do him good to hear his idol singing, "You're killing the working man / Who's stuck in Gov. Chris Christie's Fort Lee, New Jersey, traffic jam."

To the delight of comedy nerds the world over, "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp" -- the eight-episode revival of the 2001 cult favorite starring Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler and Elizabeth Banks -- premiered Friday on Netflix.

When "Wet Hot American Summer" was released in theaters in July of 2001, the oddball comedy brought in just $295,000 at the box office — barely enough to buy a house in the suburbs, much less recoup its meager $1.8-million budget.

Were you to imagine a follow-up to “Wet Hot American Summer,” David Wain and Michael Showalter's 2001 absurdist parody of an 1980s summer camp movie, it likely would not be as a prequel in which all the members of the main cast, now 14 years older, return to play their old characters in a story...
